Currently, pcplists are drained during set_migratetype_isolate() which means once per pageblock processed start_isolate_page_range(). This is somewhat wasteful. Moreover, the callers might need different guarantees, and the draining is currently prone to races and does not guarantee that no page from isolated pageblock will end up on the pcplist after the drain. Better guarantees are added by later patches and require explicit actions by page isolation users that need them. Thus it makes sense to move the current imperfect draining to the callers also as a preparation step.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
